Proverbs 31:12-21

¹²For she employs all her living for her husband's good.

¹³Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.

¹⁴She is like a ship trading from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.

¹⁵And she rises by night, and gives food to her household, and appointed tasks to her maidens.

¹⁶She views a farm, and buys it: and with the fruit of her hands she plants a possession.

¹⁷She strongly girds her loins, and strengthens her arms for work.

¹⁸And she finds by experience that working is good; and her candle goes not out all night.

¹⁹She reaches forth her arms to needful works, and applies her hands to the spindle.

²⁰And she opens her hands to the needy, and reaches out fruit to the poor.

²¹Her husband is not anxious about those at home when he tarries anywhere abroad: for all her household are clothed.
